The US Shocks Everyone, Advances To The Round Of 16 At The World Cup

The United States men national team has escaped Group G, finishing second on goal difference after a rain-soaked 1-0 loss to Germany.

The U.S. was a heavy underdog in this group. Germany was one of the favourites to win the entire tournament, Portugal was ranked 4th in the world, and Ghana had knocked the U.S. out of two-straight World Cups.
